The low birthrate makes it difficult to stop the popularity of housing in school districts. Driven by the science and technology park, the housing prices of the surrounding "new elementary schools" are the most expensive by 20%.

Under the wave of declining birthrate, schools across Taiwan are generally facing the dilemma of insufficient enrollment. However, due to the influx of population in some emerging redistricting areas and technology parks, new school buildings are needed to meet the demand for schools, which in turn drives the purchase of "school district housing". Based on the real-price registration data of the Ministry of the Interior, real estate agents calculated the performance of the surrounding housing market in the past year after the establishment of seven newly-established elementary schools in the capital after 112 years. Data shows that among the 9 primary schools on the list, a total of 7 have average unit prices of existing houses near the schools that are higher than those in the administrative districts. Among them, "Wenqing Elementary School" in Taoyuan City won the championship with a price difference of more than 20%.

Observing the list, the price difference between the price of existing houses near the top three elementary schools and the average unit price of the administrative district is more than 10%. Chen Jinping, deputy manager of Yongqing Housing Research and Exhibition Center, said that these schools are close to technology industry clusters, and the abundant job opportunities in the parks have brought a large number of employed people, thereby boosting local housing demand. Since the parents of engineers generally have higher incomes and value their children's education, the newly established primary schools, which focus on bilingual teaching and smart campuses, are exactly in line with the needs of high-income families. For the housing market, having schools in place can help supplement living functions, but surrounding housing prices are still the result of a combination of conditions such as transportation, location, housing age, and housing products.

Among them, the average unit price of existing houses in the surrounding area of ​​"Wenqing Elementary School" in Guishan District, Taoyuan City in the past year was NT$404,000, 22.1% higher than the average price of the administrative district, making it the most eye-catching. Chen Jinping pointed out that the school is close to the Jijie A7 Sports University Station and has direct access to Taipei Main Station. There are also industrial themes such as Huaya, Leshan Science and Technology Park and Postal Logistics Park in the surrounding area, so it has strong development momentum. In addition, most of the regional products are newly-built houses that are less than 5 years old. Compared with most older houses in Guishan Administrative District, the price difference is even more obvious.

The price difference between "Liantan Elementary School" in Shanhua District, Tainan City and "Wenxing Elementary School" in Zhubei City, Hsinchu County, which also benefited from the park's dividend, exceeded 10%. Chen Jinping analyzed that Liantan Elementary School is located in Liantan Lane, "the richest neighborhood in Tainan". The Nanke LM Special Zone where the school is located is famous for its checkerboard-shaped street outline, Wanping Liantan Park and high green coverage environment, attracting many upstarts in technology and senior executives. Due to the total volume control adopted by Liantan Elementary School and its lively and avant-garde bilingual teaching style, Liantan Elementary School has become a popular star school in Nanke in recent years, and parents are rushing to get it. Wenxing Elementary School is located in the Zhubei High-speed Railway Special Zone, close to the biomedical park and the science and technology headquarters. As the area is becoming saturated and the supply of new housing is relatively limited, the average unit price in the past year has reached 518,000 yuan, ranking highest among the seven newly established elementary schools in the city.
